Sir John Tenniel (1820-1914) was a renowned Victorian English illustrator and cartoonist, best known for his iconic illustrations in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and /what Alice Found There. Tenniel also gained prominence for his political cartoons, which appeared in the British satirical magazine Punch. His contributions to illustrations were so significant that he was knighted, becoming one of the few illustrators to receive such an honor.
